Here is just a quick bit of feedback from a client - the job spec for this full body with props job was to use the picture of the ‘victim’ running (he his also a competitive runner) but to have him holding a laptop - he is always running between meetings and always has his laptop and his favorite soda drink with him.

Matt (and George)!Thank you so much for this - It looks great and I really appreciate you being able to accommodate my request on such short notice.
I have been passing the word on about your site!
Thank you so much! ~ Kristen

Not only was it a quick turnaround, but at the last minute it was decided to color the image.

Sometimes international times zones work in our favor!

Here is a great shot of Dale and Dorothy with their caricature drawn by artist Zalo that was given to them by their daughter as a signature board.

As you can see she had it printed on a large sheet of heavy paper that people at the retirement even could sign.

These sign-in boards and gifts that can be signed are very popular. We have just made some special arrangements with our US framer to be able to supply a print and frame package that allows the glass to be easily removed thus allowing guests and colleagues to be able to sign on the matting. After the event the glass is simply placed back into the frame for a lasting gift.

If you would like to create a signature board  gift, feel free to browse our artists and then contact me with any questions.

Here is a chap called Randy who was presented with a caricature as a farewell gift from his organisation.

As you can see he is very happy with his gift (lucky it was not a watch I guess!)

Artist Zalo worked from supplied pictures and this description:

Randy’s passions are golf (if only he didn’t have to work!), & anything to do with the University of Texas & their team, the Longhorns.  He is a natural politician, the King of Schmooze, and was actually elected the youngest Justice of the Peace in Texas history (at the time).  He is VERY jolly & congenial & well liked by (most) everyone he meets.

At the draft stage this was the response from the client:

Oh, Matt, that is a riot!  It is SO him, especially the outstretched hand!  SUCH a politician!

And after the final printed and framed caricature was delivered:

Hi, Matt!  We had Randy’s roast last Thursday night, & it was a wonderful success.  Attached is the picture of the presentation, and one of Randy, the Board President & my boss (who’s also the CEO).  He LOVED the caricature, & everyone there said that the artist captured him absolutely.  Thanx so much for the awesome picture & fabulous service!!

There are some very imaginative caricature customers out there.

Who would have ever thought of putting a caricature into a beer tap as a gift?

Amazingly this idea works really well.

So from a couple of photos and an obliging printer and some creative juices, this retiree has a gift that will bring pleasure - and not just because of the beer - for many years!

And the message from the customer:

“Here are the pictures that I promised of the finished tapper. I hope you can use them. Thanks again for the great work and turnaround time. I will definitely use your services again in the future and pass along recommendations.”

I wrote recently on our other blog that giving a caricature as a gift can make you a hero in your workplace - everyone will think how clever you are and the recipient will really appreciate the thought.

So here is a caricature with a different story.

Rhonda Lou was doing a tour of company locations to roll out a new training program called “Respect”. (Top marks for the company for doing the training program!!).

To mark her involvement, her boss thought it would be a fun idea to have a special T-shirt printed with her caricature image on it - a sort of a pun on a rock tour.

As you can see the result drawn by artist George is quite fun and the customer liked it as well “Absolutely outstanding! This is going to be a big hit! Thanks much for taking care of this on such a short time frame. We really appreciate it and will think of you next time!”
